Dear readers,thank you all for your comments and advices for my screwed up-skirt. Some of you have planned to sew this skirt, too. So, i want to let you know, that Sabine from Sonoemifound a solution for the bulky-seam-problem. DearSabine, thank you for sharing this with us:

"Instead of the 90° twist, i made only a 45° twist. The skirt looks now as on the picture from the magazine and the seam is straight as well. It is also more comfortable to wear." (translation based on Sabine's comment)

Let's skip to something more joyful then my wadder skirt .... even though i have a well-filled stash and i'm running out of space in my closet, i couldn't leave these beauties (and bargains) without a good and caring home :-)

1m knit fabric, with a nice flower print, semi see-through, nice draping, probably a Cotton-Poly-Mix, for 3 Euro. It was love at first sight and i just had to have it. I think, it will make a nice summer top.

1m pink/apricot stretch satin with a flower print. The fabric is probably a Cottin-Poly-mix as well. It was only 3 Euros, but it is a nice quality and does not look cheap like these Carneval or Halloweeen satins. I've planned to make it into a summer top, too.

1m knit fabric a la Missoni in gray-black. The fabric has definetly more Cotton then Polyester in it, but i do nt know the exact composition. It was 3 Euros as well. We will see what i will make out of it ....

And last but not least my best bargain: 3m plaid fabric for only 9 Euros. It is a Cotton-Metallic-fabric. It has a nice and warm green color with gray and white stripes. It drapes so nicely and has a great and luxurious shine. It will become a trench a la Burberry for transition time. I'm really looking forward to sew this up! Yeeeah, i have fixation on trench coats right now :-)
